Tripods are a necessary tool for photographers of all types, but they're pretty bulky. If you don't need too much height, Instructables user searx shows off how to build a 19-inch tall camera tripod that fits in your pocket.

The pocket tripod is incredibly easy to build yourself. It requires a couple lego parts, three antenna pieces, a bolt, and a small piece of metal. Once you collect together all the parts, you'll just need to piece it all together with a little glue. The antenna's act as the tripod, and you can adjust them as you see fit. Head over to Instructables for the full guide to make one yourself.
